The Piggies Thank You
I just wanted to once again thank everyone for their generosity by writing and sending care packages.
Birthday cards, books, food, letters from kids, stationary supplies, hygiene gear, the list goes on.
And of course socks, socks, and more socks. Because of the socks my little piggies are now good enough to start running again. I only ran for 30 minutes today as I want to ease into it but plan on being up to 45 within a couple weeks and an hour in a couple weeks. Of course another reason why I am easing into it is because of the crazy heat. Despite running at 530AM the mid to high 80s still isnt ideal but oh well.
Speaking of running, my friend Cheryl and I usually run a half and full marathon every year. Last year we helped raised money for Autism and would welcome your help again. The money we raise is for the Organization for Autism Research (OAR) and Mission for Educating Children with Autism (MECA). OAR is probably the leading nationally recognized group for advancing research and proving information on this infliction and MECA is a phenomenal organization located in my backyard (Chester County, PA) that provides life skills to young adults with Autism.

Is there a specific course to go running on and is it paved or is it in the sand?
Nope, just make sure I have my water, watch, and have my shoes on the right feet.
